Publisher's Synopsis
In Guide to International Transfer Pricing, global practitioners address both the general issues that surround transfer pricing, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation of Development's (OECD) fifteen-item Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) plan and the specific rules and issues that any company must concern itself with in various jurisdictions around the world. Tax authorities around the globe are increasingly scrutinizing the intercompany pricing practices of taxpayers and enacting rules and regulations to ensure an appropriate allocation of income among the various tax jurisdictions in which a multinational company operates. In addition, a growing number of tax authorities have established documentation requirements to demonstrate appropriate transfer pricing policies, with penalty provisions for non-compliance. Not only must a multinational company understand the different nuances in the transfer pricing laws and their practical interpretation in each local country, but it must also appreciate that by operating in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, transactional structures or intercompany pricing policies can impact the multinational's global effective tax rate.
